Abstract |
Tc-99m-MAG3 was synthesized, and biodistribution and
blood clearance rate were compared with those of 131I-
OIH in mice and rats respectively. Finally renal image
was obtained from a normal male volunteer before and
after prescription of probenecid. The results obtained
were as follows: 1) The uptake of Tc-99m-MAG3 by kindey
was higher than that of 131I-OIH in mice 10 mins after
injection (n=6, p〈0.05), but slightly lower uptakes
were found in all organs (kindney, blood, stomach,
intestinge and liver) 2 hrs after injection. 2) For Tc-
99m-MAG3 t½α=2.4±0.0 min, t½β=44.3±7.4 min, and
blood clearance=3.4±0.5 ml/min, and for 131I-OIH
t½α=1.8±0.2 min, t½β=69.1±9.5 min, and blood
clearance=1.3±0.1 min were found in rats. 3) From the
renogram of normal male volunteer, we could find that
tmax=130 sec and t½=430 sec before probenecid
prescription, and tmax=150∼170sec and t½=810∼1,170
sec after probenecid prescripron. From these results we
concluded that Tc-99m-MAG3 can be used instead of 131I-
OIH for obtaining renal image. |
